Chapter 2077 - 2078: Exposed! Midnight Reveal
He was betrayed!
The Donghua Holy Son fell into the trap of a Loose Cultivator!
The Donghua Holy Son couldn’t accept it. If his opponent was the Taiyi Holy Son or the Stone Demon Lord’s Holy Son, he would acknowledge it, but neither was the case. It was someone he had never paid attention to, a minor character.
Ever since the Turquoise Pool gathering ended, the Donghua Holy Son had chosen to enter the Star River Road. After that, he knew nothing about anything related to Ye Qiu. He didn’t know Ye Qiu apprenticed under Miao Shan, didn’t know Ye Qiu became the sixth elder of the Pill Tower, nor did he know Ye Qiu challenged the Supreme Saint.
If the Donghua Holy Son had known all this, he wouldn’t have underestimated Ye Qiu.
The formation dissipated, and everything became clear.
The soldiers from the Azure Dragon Dynasty, some lay dead, some had surrendered. Among them, a man in a Five-clawed Golden Dragon Robe had his chest pierced through, evidently dead. This was the emperor of the Azure Dragon Dynasty.
The ones standing on the battlefield were people from the Colossal Elephant Dynasty, soldiers and generals alike, all stained in blood, having killed many enemies.
Especially the mighty generals and masters like Hong Luan, even if they were killing weaker soldiers, they were exhausted by now.
After all, there were too many soldiers from the Azure Dragon Dynasty, they had killed until their hands were tired.
If it hadn’t been for Ye Qiu’s formation assist, and if Ye Qiu hadn’t activated another formation to annihilate the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Dynasty while opposing the Donghua Holy Son, winning this battle would not have been easy for the Colossal Elephant Dynasty.
It seemed like the only one with any resistance left from the Azure Dragon Dynasty was the Donghua Holy Son.
All eyes focused on him.
The Donghua Holy Son ignored everyone else, as he had never cared for these local Martial Artists. He just didn’t expect this battle to end so quickly, catching him off guard.
He still had many tricks up his sleeve yet to reveal.
"I haven’t lost, I haven’t lost yet. If I kill you, I will gain the fortune you hold!" the Donghua Holy Son said fiercely.
"You can’t kill me!" Ye Qiu responded with a slight smile, not concerned at all.
"You’re wrong..." The Donghua Holy Son smiled mysteriously, having no time for hesitation at this point.
Hm?
For some reason, Ye Qiu’s heart raced, feeling a great disaster approaching.
Just then, several figures appeared in the sky, hovering in the void.
Embroidered on their chests was the same pattern, each exuding a powerful Saint’s aura.
The Sacred Alliance!
Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed, seeing that the Donghua Holy Son said to these Saints of the Sacred Alliance, "Teacher, this person is an outsider, gathering much fortune on him. Killing him can advance one’s martial path."
Upon the words of the Donghua Holy Son, the gaze of several Saints turned towards him.
Ye Qiu didn’t expect the Donghua Holy Son to use such a despicable move. He immediately pointed at the Donghua Holy Son and shouted, "He’s the real outsider, don’t let him deceive you!"
However, the Donghua Holy Son seemed unflustered. A Saint from the Sacred Alliance spoke up, "Dong Hua is my disciple, do you still not trust an old man like me?"
Ye Qiu looked at the elder who spoke for the Donghua Holy Son and realized it was bad. The Donghua Holy Son had someone in the Sacred Alliance, no wonder he wasn’t afraid of being accused in return.
"Hmph, outsider, seeking to steal the fortune of our Astral Earth Continent, meet your death."
In an instant, the Saints of the Sacred Alliance attacked Ye Qiu.
Faced with over ten Saints at once, even Ye Qiu didn’t dare to face them head-on.
Escape!
Ye Qiu couldn’t bother to say goodbye to the mighty generals and Hong Luan. His priority now was to preserve his life.
As Ye Qiu fled, the Sacred Alliance members immediately pursued him.
Donghua Holy Son’s gaze was icy, quickly following, wanting to see Ye Qiu killed.
The Saints pursued at great speed, and in his panic, Ye Qiu burrowed underground, disappearing from the surface.
When the dozen or so Saints arrived, they immediately used their mental senses to scan the surrounding terrain.
During this, Ye Qiu took advantage and hid inside the Taihuang Bell, avoiding the Saints’ detection.
The Saints couldn’t detect Ye Qiu’s presence, as if he had vanished into thin air. When Donghua Holy Son arrived and heard what happened, he concluded that Ye Qiu had a treasure that allowed him to hide.
"I underestimated you, to possess a treasure that can evade the detection of Saints." He was not only interested in killing Ye Qiu now but also in the treasures Ye Qiu carried.
Since Ye Qiu had such a treasure, he definitely couldn’t let him escape. The Saints present all understood the importance of a treasure that could evade their detection.
Soon after, Ye Qiu felt the Taihuang Bell around him shaking continuously, as if enduring thousands of attacks.
Through the Taihuang Bell, Ye Qiu realized these guys were randomly bombarding the ground just to force him to reveal himself.
Being on the defensive wasn’t Ye Qiu’s style, so he quickly launched a counterattack.
He maneuvered the Taihuang Bell, sneaking behind one of the Saints, the very one who spoke up for the Donghua Holy Son.
Seizing the moment, Ye Qiu struck a fatal blow at the Saint’s Dantian.
Yet as Ye Qiu’s attack penetrated the Saint’s Dantian, he noticed something was amiss, as the punch seemed to hit nothing, missing any flesh and blood.
No physical body?
Surprised, Ye Qiu launched a soul attack, transforming into a soul longsword, slashing directly.
Swish!
The Saint staggered, clutching his head, his face somewhat blurred.
Donghua Holy Son’s expression changed, because he knew what was going on with this Saint—it wasn’t his real body.
The surrounding Saints of the Sacred Alliance were also surprised; they had never encountered such a situation, as none expected someone at their level to be a mere illusion.
Now that he had been exposed, after discerning that the Saint who supported Donghua Holy Son was just a disguised illusion, Ye Qiu sneered, "You’ve all been fooled, he’s the real outsider!"
All eyes again focused on Donghua Holy Son, who clenched his fists, staring at Ye Qiu, "Alright, I remember you. We’ll meet again on the Star River Road, and then I won’t spare you."
He wanted to kill Ye Qiu, but it seemed difficult. Now that his identity was exposed, he no longer bothered to feign anything. Instantly, a light enveloped Donghua Holy Son, and his body began to rise slowly.
During this, no matter how the Saints of the Sacred Alliance attacked, they couldn’t harm Donghua Holy Son in the slightest.
Ye Qiu frowned, watching the gradually disappearing Donghua Holy Son. He knew how to leave this planet and continue on the Star River Road.
The dozen Saints of the Sacred Alliance were destined to be disappointed, as when they turned back to look at Ye Qiu, they found he too had vanished without a trace.
